Siri doesn’t speaks but only write.

Siri doesn’t speaks when a question is asked, but instead it writes everything is fine in settings, my iOS software is 14.5.1, even when I restarted it, the same thing happens.

(ex): if I say “hey siri” what’s the weather?

Siri responded with a information on the screen but it didn’t say anything.

iPhone 11, iOS 14

IOS16 Siri stays activated permanently Ever since updating to iOS 16 (and now 16.2) whenever I ask Siri something I get my answer verbally and displayed on the screen as normal, but instead of Siri then disappearing off my screen after a few seconds, Siri just stays there forever. The circle at the bottom keeps twirling away and the information stays on the screen. I have to say “hey Siri dismiss“ or swipe up on my screen. This is absolutely ridiculous. I’ve checked all settings but there is nothing I can do to stop this from happening. Has anyone else experienced this? Apple, can you please please put it back to how it was? I won’t bore you with all the reasons this is extremely annoying. Imagine every time you ask a person a question, after they answer, you have to say, “hey John, dismiss.“

Siri will not speak after installing 16.1 on my iPad Siri will not speak the screen after users install the 16.1 OS update. The screen dims a little bit and then Siri says: "Sorry, There's nothing to read here." This happens with Apple News, Pocket, websites with Safari, etc. With the Brave browser, the screen goes dark just before Siri says "Sorry, There's nothing to read here." The 16.1 OS update is causing whatever is on the screen to appear as invisible to Siri with the new 12.9 inch iPad Pro. None of this was a problem with iPadOS 15.7 on the 11 inch 2021 iPad Pro or with the iPhone 14 Pro Max and 16.0.3 OS. Vision impaired users depend on Siri speaking the screen. A workaround is to get the keyboard to appear. Siri will then speak the screen after an oral prompt. However, this extra step should not be necessary, and it is not always an option. It is not an option with Apple News, Pocket, etc. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Try going into settings and then under Siri and search tap Siri responses and you should see options for spoken responses.

if that doesn’t work try resetting all settings

Hi srinivasVaradarajan,

Please see: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support.

Also, verify in Settings > Siri & Search > Siri Responses > Spoken Responses it set up right.

Cheers,

Jack
